What profit sharing when we run a deficit every year?
3 comments

who is? the human race or national governments? those two are not the same.

wealth and GDP is growing faster than the cost of living in absolute terms.

As long as the GDP grows faster then the deficit/interest, we’re good.
has that been happening? i guess so, in some sense, because the interest rate is "0"...
and when we're not running a deficit, we're suddenly running a deficit.

I'm in favor of basic income, but tying it to "profit sharing" is just silly.
